Hi Esmeralda. Unfortunately, no, California regulations do not create a “certification” after this training is completed. The training would simply need to be documented in the employee file.

Can someone on G-tube remain in RL? If not, what would be your recommendation in order for the resident to stay in her own apartment?

I personally think after completing the 40-hour Administrator and 8-hour Medication training classes that the latter can be incorporated with the first by efficient use of time management. The extra 8-hour class only adds more frustration to the exasperating experience a RCFE facility applicant already endures in terms of the long wait before a facility get licensed by the state. Meantime, our poor elderlies are becoming victims of the less-effective care offered by overwhelmed, understaffed and expensive facilities.
